Description
Up to 21 schools could close within the Seattle Public School system as the district looks to shore up a large budget deficit.
The district released two options that would save $31.5 million and $25.5 million, respectively. It would help close an approximate $94 million budget gap spurred by decreasing student enrollment and less federal funding.
